After a big win against the Seattle Kraken, the Nashville Predators continue their road trip to play the Edmonton Oilers. It’s the first game of a very short Canada swing and the second of three games against one of the two teams in Alberta.
The Oilers have been a prominent part of hockey narratives over the last month. After heading into the slightly extended Christmas break with a two-game win streak and an 18-11-0 record, they came out afterward and pooped the bed. In their last nine games, they sit with a 2-5-2 record, and if we were to extend that to the start of December, they sit with a 5-11-2 record.
